Xavi Sabaté: First of all I would like to congratulate Paris, they played well. I would like to thank the fans for the support, they saw a great game and cheered for us until the end, as always. We knew very well that a game lasts for 60 minutes, the guests could lead the game for 45-50 minutes but after that we had the game in our hands. We played a really good game against a top European team who are probably the best team right now. Twice in the first half and once in the second half we were able to turn the game around from 3 goal deficit which is a great performance against a team like PSG. We had the chance to win the game in the last minutes, but Omeyer’s double save was incredible. We made a bad decision at the last attack and on the other side Gensheimer scored a class goal and won the game for Paris. I feel like we suffered more suspensions that we had, I guess, some of them were simple faults. I like the players like László Nagy, Uwe Gensheimer or Daniel Narcisse, who are fair in every aspect of the game. But there are some plyers from the other type.

 

Gábor Ancsin: Congratulations to Paris. I would like to thanks this incredible atmosphere to the fans. Till the 58th minute, we played fantastic, we fought like a real team. We had some mistakes that was what decided in the end. We have to concentrate more in Paris, so that way we can take revenge next weekend.

 

 

Zvonimir Serdarusic: I was surprised that we could win in Veszprém. It has not happened in a long time. I think we deserved the win because we could lead throughout the whole game. I am happy for the win because every point in this group is valuable.

 

Uwe Gensheimer: Of course we expected a hard match. It was very hard to win in this atmosphere, but we made a big fight in all the sixty minute. In the first half, at 14-12 we became a bit deconcentrated, we threw the ball fast and we made a lots of turnovers. I think we deserve this victory, we made a big fight.
